    Flingeld
    Oh! You startled me. I didn't see you approach. My Master says there are valuable materials behind that boulder over there. But get this - the blasted thing can't be moved.
    My instructions were to go to a platform in the ruins. "Meditate, and let the Force empower me." But I've meditated 'til I can't see straight - and nothing.
    Jedi duo
    You admit defeat? You're just going to give up?
    Flingeld
    What else am I supposed to do?
    So, I'm gonna get drummed out of the order because I can't move a rock that can't be moved? It's absurd. Hey, what if - maybe you could help me. Are you good at this meditation thing?
    Jedi duo
    Let's find out.
    Flingeld
    Oh, thank you! You're a lifesaver.
    So, just kneel at the altar nearby. Supposedly, if you find deep inner peace, you'll be able to move the boulder. If you fail, I can tell my Master it wasn't just me who couldn't move it.

    Dialog transcript
    Flingeld
    You did it! I can't decide if I'm ashamed that I couldn't do it or happy that my mission is complete. There was supposed to be something important behind the boulder!
    Master Quilljayk
    I'm very disappointed, Flingeld.
    Flingeld
    Master Quilljayk, why are you here?
    Master Quilljayk
    The valuable materials beyond that boulder were enlightenment and perseverance - and you failed to acquire them.
    You've become unbalanced by doubt and self-recrimination. By enlisting another's aid to complete this trial, you have confirmed deep-rooted weakness.
    I'm afraid your training must come to an end. You will not become a Jedi.
    Flingeld
    But Master, it's not my fault. I didn't ask for help. I- I tried to decline!
    Jedi Duo
    That is simply not true, Master Quilljayk.
    Master Quilljayk
    I sense the calm in you, young ones. It speaks to your veracity.
    I know how important becoming a Jedi was to you and your family, Flingeld. Unfortunately, I have no choice. You will be stationed in the archives here and serve the order in a clerical capacity. It is decided.
    Flingeld
    You- it's all your fault. You ruined my chances.
    Master Quilljayk
    Flingeld was never expected to move that boulder. Communing with the Force is something only a Master typically has the clarity to achieve.
    Jedi Duo
    So, you were testing his determination and resolve.
    Master Quilljayk
    Yes. And his inner fortitude proved inflexible, so he crumbled. Flingeld's task was to learn to persevere despite futility. When one's self-image depends on success, shortcuts are taken.
    It's imperative that we screen out Padawans unable to assume the great responsibility of the Jedi. You've done the order an important service.
    Jedi Duo
    We did nothing noteworthy. Just what was called for.
    Master Quilljayk
    Humility is the benchmark of the Jedi. Flingeld? You may return to the temple when you are ready.
    Flingeld
    Yes. Yes, Master.
    Master Quilljayk
    You have our thanks. Now may the Force be with you.

, who had asked them for help to complete his trial. His Master asked him to retrieve some valuable materials from behind a large boulder, but he was unable to move the boulder with the Force. He had asked the duo to give it a try.
To Flingeld's surprise and delight, the Duo meditated at the nearby altar and used the Force to easily move the boulder.

chastised his Padawan, who at first tried to lie that Duo had offered their help without asking him, but in the end agreed that it was his fault. Master Quilljayk explained that it was never Flingeld's task to move the stone - such a task required a Master - Flingeld was called to learn enlightenment and perseverance. The Jedi Master sent Flingeld back to the Temple and thanked the duo for their intervention.
When Flingeld left, Quilljayk promised the Jedi Padawans that despite he said Flingeld otherwise, he intended to give Flingeld a second chance to become a Jedi Knight.
